The word for today is…

hallowed (adjective):

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hallowed?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Hallowed is the past participle of the verb hallow, a term that descends from the Middle English halowen. That word can be traced back to the Old English adjective hālig, meaning "holy." During the Middle Ages, All Hallows' Day was the name for what Christians now call All Saints' Day, and the evening that preceded All Hallows' Day was All Hallows' Eve or All Hallow Even—or, as we know it today, Halloween.
